| This page defines the functions attributed to the ASSIGNABLE SWITCHes on the camera body.
| Pictured here are the Panavision Defaults
| For each of the 3 switches, dial in the selected function. The options are:
| FAN MAX - used to cool off a hot camera, see page M10 for other fan options. REC REVIEW - see below Other Options? OFF - no function assigned
| The REC REVIEW function automatically rewinds the tape, and plays back the last 3 seconds of the footage recorded on tape, and then cues the tape for the next recording. Many Camera Assistants use REC REVIEW as a digital version of "checking the gate". Some Assistants will put a tail slate at the end of the take to easily distinguish between similar takes.
| The ASSIGNABLE SWITCHES on the camera body are depicted below. On the right is SWITCH3, a supple black push button. To its left is the two-position SWITCH1 (upwards) and SWITCH2 (downwards).
